Speed Passion motors

[chris68nufc]

Has anybody got any info on V3 motors from the above?

I want to know RPM ratings for the 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 to see how they differ.

Ive got a 7.5 and it wasnt very fast in my Durango even when i played with the gearing??

Anything else i need to know about these?

we ran a 7.5 v3 in the cat sx it was reasonably fast it was how ever geared very high 7.38 = 80x26
motor info clicky

Mine was geared on a 25 pinion, standard spur. It was really really sluggish.
I thought it was way overgeared though. I advanced the timing aswell and it was better. This was with running 4800 LRP lipos brand new. Do lipos get better after a few charges? Ive never noticed it before on brand new ones but just a thought?

I run a 18/84 setup on the 7.5 in the B44 and it's got plenty of speed

I've run a 5.5 also and it's very fast.

7.5 rpm 5100
6.5 rpm 5800
5.5 rpm 7000
4.5 rpm 8000

All in the instructions Chris

i know u got same tranny ko esprit 3 as my so if you can go to menu set up and check the TH:HIPOINT standard setting is 100% so if u can bump it up to 150% then u get more top end

u may already did it but just give u my thought

Don't think it works quite like that, as long as the speedo is hitting 100% you wont gain speed, you'll just hit full speed earlier in the sticks travel

Im going to have a look at my throttle curve.
I may have left it on the -scale from when i was using an LRP X12 motor which was balistic.

I was using brand new LRP Lipos 4800 40C. Surely they dont need to be run in before they are good??

I've got a SP V3 7.5T on my TRF501 and it is quite fast, at least for indoor racing.

ESC is Losi Xcelorin S and there was a huge difference between initial acceleration settings "normal" and "high" (default), where that high felt far better for my liking, and normal felt rubberbandish... (slow in other words...)

Same problem here.....not as much top end as id like!

Not messed with the timing yet but why should you have too???

[bigred5765]

18/84 and a 7.5t??
Surprised it moved???
I ran a 22/84 today and could of ran quicker quite easily!
So have you changed the timing?
